Compress JPG
JPG workflow
Compress JPG and JPEG files locally without pushing them through an upload service
This page is the focused JPG version of the compressor. Use it when the source is already a JPEG and the goal is only to shrink weight while keeping the same framing.

Compress JPG locally
Batch compress JPG and JPEG files without uploading. Adjust quality, set a target size, and download instantly.
Local-only processing. Files stay on your device and are not uploaded.
What happens next
- Select images from your device.
- Adjust settings and preview the result.
- Export locally as JPG/PNG/WebP.
Workflow notes
What to preserve
Keep the image readable, not just technically smaller
- Check eyes, skin texture, small text, and sharp edges after each quality change.
- Avoid dropping quality too far when a small resize would solve the file limit more gracefully.
- If the image contains transparency or UI, it may belong in PNG or WebP instead of JPG.
Next step
If the file still fails, change dimensions or format after compression
Compression is only one lever. If the result is still too heavy, resize the canvas or move to WebP after you understand what quality loss is acceptable.
Useful context
Best for
Existing JPG exports
A clean path for JPEG files that only need to get smaller before upload or attachment.
Good default
80–90%
Start here for photos, then move lower only if you still need to chase a stricter KB limit.
Target mode
50 KB / 100 KB / 200 KB
Useful when forms or CMS rules reject anything over a fixed maximum size.
Watch for
Faces and text
These are usually the first places where over-compression starts to show up.
FAQ
Do you upload my images?
No. Compression runs locally in your browser. Your files are not uploaded.
How do I compress JPG (JPEG) online?
Choose JPG output, then lower quality slightly (start around 80–90%).
Can I compress JPG to 100KB / 200KB?
Yes (best effort). Set a target size in KB, then downscale if needed.
Will compression reduce quality?
It can. Increase quality if you see artifacts, or downscale dimensions for better-looking savings.
Why is my JPG still large?
Very high-resolution images may need downscaling. Try setting max width/height.
Can I batch compress JPG files?
Yes. Upload multiple images and download results individually or as a zip.
